Yes, AC, your point is also somewhat valid but a day tripper on a 3 hour trip will not have to stand for more than 16% of his /her trip whereas an annual ticket holder going to say Mullingar would be standing closer to 50% of the trip home. I believe it should be first come first served on commuter routes.
